Hi,

Yes, that solved all these issues. I didn't looked at this option  
before. I now selected the same font as in the Editor styles there  
(Courier that is) and it looks all correct now.

Perhaps it should always automatically take the same font+fontsize as  
you have selected in the Editor styles?

But I am happy so far. :)

Regards,
Albert
